The slow rise of ocean levels is becoming a growing economic and environmental concerns along the coastlines of the world. With the rising temperature rates, it is becoming an inevitable impact rather than a theory. With this urgency, research and new resources need to be explored and made into a priority before it's too late. It is estimated that the sea level rises 0.13 inches (3.2 millimeters) per year (NASA, 2018). That worrying rise is mostly due to two factors,…...

Our earth is composed of interconnected ecosystems of various sizes and properties that each play a vital role in the overall health of our global environment as well as human life. However, unsustainable human activities, like large carbon emissions and overexploitation of natural resources, are drastically changing the earth’s climate- in a negative way. The World Wide Fund (WWF) is an organization focusing on reversing these effects by encouraging practices that preserve biodiversity and implementing policies that reduce human impacts.…...
